Staci Hayes needs someone to believe her, and she thinks that someone will be Navy SEAL Tristan Sawyer. Tristan rescued Staci from a middle-eastern prison in Lybania two weeks ago, and now Staci thinks someone is after her. She is certain that it is because of the piece of paper she picked up off the floor of that prison. Staci recognizes the map of San Diego's harbor on the paper, but cannot read the words. Navy SEALS are not supposed to have any contact with those they recue after a mission is complete. But when Staci shows up at Tristan's office, he hears her out and decides he cannot let her down. When a pipe bomb is sent to her house, Tristan is all in for figuring out what is going on. The piece of paper makes them think a terrorist group is going to do something in San Diego's harbor, but what will they do and when will it happen?

SEAL UNDER SIEGE is a fast-paced inspirational suspense story about discovering who is really in control of our lives. Staci and Tristan are strong characters who have both lost someone they loved and are guarding their hearts, keeping themselves in a prison of sorts. Liz Johnson uses subtle humor in the dialogue to express the characters' feelings and carry the romantic aspect of this story along. From start to finish Ms. Johnson keeps the reader engaged with the riveting suspense of a terrorist attack on the US. The romance is predictable, but the story line to the terrorist attack is certainly not. Another Harlequin quick and easy read, SEAL UNDER SIEGE is book number two in Ms. Johnson's Men of Valor Series. If inspirational suspense is your genre, this one will not disappoint you.
